“Unbalanced” DTM cars don’t make for good racing

The current DTM cars are unbalanced when compared to the NASCAR Cup series and the World Rallycross Championship, says Mattias Ekstrom.

Ekstrom, who is leaving DTM to focus on his World RX team, completed a farewell weekend at Hockenheim in a seventh Audi RS5 and took a best result of 16th.

The Swedish driver previously made his NASCAR Cup series debut back in 2010 with two appearances for the Red Bull team, now known as BK Racing – and Ekstrom believes that the DTM car is “not healthy” compared to a WRX or a Cup car.
